A senior aide to President Vladimir Putin has rejected any temporary cease-fire with Ukraine just hours before a US delegation was expected to land in Russia for talks with Moscow where they will urge the Kremlin to agree to a 30-day cease-fire proposal or face sanctions.
Don’t worry - I’m sure our new Dear Leader will find a way to make things even more terrible, and ultimately give Putin whatever he wants.
Though, now that Rubio is starting to come back from his disassociation episode, maybe he’ll do something that’s not apocalyptically stupid (holy fucking christ am I actually pulling for Rubio a little bit…? What the fuck is this timeline). News in recent days from him makes me suspicious that maybe he’s just learning things that sane people already knew, but he didn’t trust because he didn’t do it and he didn’t see it on Fox News et al.
